Hakogi Family Residence

4.0

"This residence, also known as the Hakogi Sennenya House, was the home of a powerful family in the Muromachi period. Traditionally believed to have been constructed during between 806 and 810, the home is said to be the oldest surviving private house in Japan. Due to the construction of Donto Dam in 1977, the home relocated from its original location slightly northwest of its current location. At the time of the survey conducted before the home was dismantled, it had a floor plan called ""Seikei Mutsumadori"" that is comprised of six rooms and an earth-floored area. However, it was later separated into two buildings sometime in the late Edo period. These two buildings were transferred to the new location and reconstructed. The museum located inside the storehouse features exhibits including agricultural implements used at the time as well as a model of the home."
